Cockamamie Longevity

by Arlene Taylor PhD

Sensing a tug on my sleeve I turned to see a woman with

green eyes and jet black hair at my side. She motioned

for me to step outside so I followed her from the meeting

room into the hall.

“My husband said to ask you about some cockamamie

longevity comments he heard on the news about human

beings being able to live beyond 100 years.”

I waited, smiling to myself at her use of the word

cockamamie. I hadn’t heard it since childhood. “Isn’t that

stretching things a bit if not downright untrue?” she continued. “I mean, who has

done that in these modern times?”

“Longevity is my presentation topic for tonight,” I replied.

The woman nodded. “Okay. I’ll be sure to listen and take notes for him.”

Longevity is in the news fairly regularly. And, yes, human beings are breaking the

100-year barrier with increasing frequency.

According to The Centenarian website, centenarians (people who reach

the age of 100 years or more) are currently the fastest growing part of the

population. In the United States there an estimated 72,000 while worldwide the

numbers approach half a million.

In Japan, an estimated 30,000 have reached the 100-year mark. In total numbers of

centenarians Japan is second to the United States, reporting a current population of

about 30,000 centenarians, the number having nearly quadrupled during the last

decade and rising more dramatically than anywhere else on the planet. At its current

rate, Japan’s population of centenarians may rival that of the United States in sheer

numbers in the years ahead. By 2050, Japan is expected to boast the most

centenarians in the world proportionally.

Spain reports 10,000, Canada about 5,000, and Italy close to 5000 centenarians.

In Okinawa, studies point to five factors that have contributed to the large number

of centenarians in that region:

1. A diet that is heavy on grains, fish, and vegetables and light on meat, eggs, and dairy products.

2. Low-stress lifestyles, which are proven significantly less stressful than that of the mainland inhabitants of

Japan.

3. A caring community, where older adults are not isolated and are taken better care of.

4. High levels of activity, where locals work until an older age than the average age in other countries, and

more emphasis on activities like walking and gardening to keep active.

5. Spirituality, where a sense of purpose comes from involvement in spiritual matters and prayer eases the

mind of stress and problems.

According to John W. Santrock's A Topical Approach to Life-Span Development, research has suggested five

factors that are most important to longevity in centenarians:

1. Heredity and family history

2. Health, i.e. weight, diet, whether or not a person smokes, amount of exercise

3. Education level

4. Personality

5. Lifestyle

Having French ancestors on my maternal side, I was interested in the

number of centenarians in France. They report over 3,000 centenarians.

And speaking of France, a French woman named Jeanne Louise Calment

lived to be 122 years, 164 days. Born 21 February 1875, she died 4

August 1997. In fact, Club 122 Longevity was named after her.

My Longevity Lifestyle addresses the factors outlined both in the

Okinawa study and pointed out by Dr. Santrock. I would love to match

Calment in longevity!

delta-E ® (a source of Suntheanine® isomer-pure L-theanine)

EnerPrime™ (a supergreen food with Adaptogens to help manage

stress).

I am aiming high—and I believe the ingredients in both delta-E® and

EnerPrime™ will help me get farther along the road to toward that

longevity goal!

Longevity? Cockamamie? I don’t think so!

I do not approve of Energy

Drinks,

but delta-E is NOT an energy

drink! by Ben Greenfield

Imagine this: I am writing this

article in a magazine that

features an energy drink!

I’m not a big fan of energy

drinks. As a nutrition

consultant, for the sake of my

clients I have sometimes wished

in the past that energy drinks

did not exist. And here are the

reasons why:

1) Danger of Caffeine

Overdose and Addiction:

The average energy drink

contains nearly 4 times the

amount of caffeine found in

commercial soda beverages and

several of the more popular

brands contain the caffeine

equivalent of 14 Cokes. A 6-

ounce cup of coffee has 80-150

milligrams (mg) of caffeine, but

the caffeine content of energy

drinks ranges from 50-500+

mg, with one popular energy

drink “shot” topping out at

570mg, which gives you the

equivalent of about three and a

half cups of coffee with a single

sip!

Why should this concern you?

Because caffeine forces your

adrenal glands to secrete

enormous amounts of

adrenaline and “energy”

hormones, even when those

glands are depleted. The result

is a growing tolerance to the

effects of caffeine, and eventual

burn-out and severe adrenal

depletion. This is accompanied

by a feeling of increasing

tiredness and a need for higher

and higher amounts of caffeine

to achieve an energy boost.

Attempts at quitting the

addiction can result in

withdrawal symptoms such as

severe headaches and complete

loss of mental focus and

function.

In addition, by inhibiting the

activity of the vitamin folate,

B12 and B6, high levels of

caffeine may interfere with your

body’s ability to regulate two

significant cardiovascular

disease risk factors:

homocysteine and cholesterol.

By causing blood vessel

constriction and increased risk

of blood clots, the caffeine

content in some energy drinks

can literally be deadly for

someone with high stress levels

or high blood pressure. Finally,

high levels of caffeine

consumption have been

associated with increased risk of

stroke and arthritis, insomnia,

heart palpitations, tremors,

sweating, nausea, diarrhea, chest

pain, and neurological

symptoms!

2) Overdosing on Sugar and

Artificial Sweeteners

One can of energy drink

contains the equivalent of nearly

10 teaspoons of sugar! This

amount of sugar causes your

sensitive pancreas to create a

literal flood of insulin in an

attempt to manage all the extra

glucose (sugar) that ends up in

the bloodstream. Some of this

sugar may be used by the

muscles, but usually only if you

are exercising quite frequently.

The remainder of the sugar is

converted into fat by the liver.

In addition, the body releases

both epinephrine

and cortisol from your adrenal

glands (as if they weren’t

already stressed enough from

the caffeine!). The result is a

quick swing in energy, followed

by a subsequent crash, a

severely compromised immune

system, a surge of cell-

damaging “free radicals”,

thickened blood and an eventual

insensitivity to insulin, also

know as type II diabetes. And

you just thought sugar was bad

for your teeth!

But what about artificial

sweeteners? Don’t they

People in Health” is Author of

September 2016 Newsletter 4

Unfortunately, research has

shown that there is still a release

of gastric hormones when you

consume an artificial sweeteners.

This gives your brain a

confusing message: that food is

present, but that the food has no

“calories”. Subsequently, you

develop an appetite craving

typically 30-60 minutes after

consuming an artificially

sweetened beverage.

In addition, these artificially

sweetened chemicals (yes,

chemicals!) such as aspartame

(Nutrasweet), sucralose

(Splenda), acesulfame

potassium, and sugar alcohols

have been linked to upset

stomachs, mood swings, birth

defects, cancer, diabetes,

emotional disorders, epilepsy,

seizures, a variety of

neurological disorders and even

obesity!

3) Excessive Acids

Finally, carbonic acid, citric acid

and phosphoric acid in popular

carbonated energy drinks can

dissolve tooth enamel (causing

tooth rot and yellow teeth), raise

the risk of stomach damage and

ulcers, cause bone breakdown,

osteoporosis, and bone fractures,

and upset the fragile “acid-

alkaline” balance in the human

body. And that is why I am not a

fan of energy drinks.

But two years ago, a friend gave

me a packet of powder called

“delta-E”. Of course, I

immediately took note of the fact

that it was not in carbonated and

acidic soda form. It was an

effervescent powder that I could

mix with pure, natural water!

Upon an inspection of the label,

however, I noted that it only

contained 75mg of caffeine – the

equivalent of just one-half cup of

coffee. Sure, it wouldn’t destroy my

adrenal glands, but how could this

possibly enhance my energy levels?

And with no processed sugar and

artificial sweeteners, would I even

be able to stomach the taste?

Despite my doubts, I tried the little

pink packet, pouring it into a bottle

of water that sat on the table. After a

surprisingly delicious and

refreshingly fruity swig, I then sat

back, completely expecting the same

feeling that I had previously

experienced with commercial

energy drinks – jitteriness, lack of

focus, a short-lived high, then a

massive slump in energy levels and

enormous stimulation of appetite.

My expectations were completely

wrong. For the next 4 hours, I

had what I can only describe as a

laser focus, a positively pleasant

mood, and completely enhanced

energy levels – without the

jitters!

Later, upon researching this unique

feeling, I discovered that this feeling

was due to the presence of pure L-

Theanine, which had actually

crossed my blood-brain barrier and

caused a release of mood-enhancing

dopamine and serotonin, without

destroying my adrenal glands in the

process!

With a full spectrum of immune-

system enhancing vitamin C,

cellular metabolism- boosting

vitamin B12, the muscle-exciting

amino acid taurine and a delicious

pomegranate juice extract as a

natural sweetener, I was suddenly

finding my paradox challenged –

was there actually such a thing as a

“healthy” energy drink?

For the past two years, I have

used delta-E to achieve that

same successful feeling over

and over again, with zero

“tolerance build-up”, afternoon

energy slump, or compromised

immune system health. Perhaps

even more impressively, I have

double- dosed with delta-E

prior to my intense athletic

competition in Ironman

triathlon, and experienced the

greatest athletic success of my

life, which I believe is also due

not only to the novel properties

of delta-E, but also to my

synergistic use of the entire

family of IMPaX health

supplements.

As a nutrition consultant and

personal trainer, I have utilized

delta-E to “wean”

clients from caffeine

addictions, enhance sleep levels

and assist with insomnia, instill

inspiration and energy to

complete a fat-burning workout

after a long day of work, boost

the immune system prior to

airplane travel, and naturally

flavor water without risking

chemical consumption.

And I must say, I’m still not a

fan of energy drinks. But delta-

E is not an energy drink.

It was not formulated to be a

sleep substitute, to satisfy a

caffeine addiction, or to fuel

late night partying.

Just like all the IMPaX

products, it was formulated for

energy and enhanced mental

and physical function, but from

the perspective of complete

mental and physical health, and

because of that, it stands out

among the crowd of unhealthy

energy alternatives.

Try it just once.

I think you’ll agree.
